Guests will enjoy live music from Republic of Music as they mingle in the Lucky Lounge, set inside the glass-enclosed Marina Ballroom, open from 5 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. Attendees can also experience a fun photo green screen, explore the silent auction, and participate in RaffleMania for the chance to win outstanding prizes. Delicious bites will be available at various food islands starting at 6:30 p.m. The evening program begins promptly at 6:45 p.m. and will feature welcome remarks from St. Paul’s CEO Michael McHale, a heartfelt testimonial from a current PACE participant, and a live auction followed by a paddle raise, offering guests the opportunity to contribute directly to this impactful cause. Following the program, the dance floor will open at 7:45 p.m. for an evening of celebration under the stars. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the event, with guests also able to pledge their participation online prior to the event.
